Expansion Power Unit
The RPSSSE24A expansion power unit passes 24VDC
field power to the I/O modules to the right of it. This unit
extends the backplane bus power and creates a new field
voltage partition segment for driving field devices for up
to 13 I/O modules. The expansion power unit separates
field power from I/O modules to the left of the unit,
effectively providing functional and logical partitioning for:
• Separating field power between input and output
modules
• Separating field power to the analog and digital
modules
• Grouping modules to perform a specific task or
function
You can use multiple expansion power units with any of
the communication adapters to assemble a full system. If
you are using the RPSSCDM12A adapter, you may use
a RPSSSE24A expansion power unit to add additional
modules. For example, if you had a 36 module system
with a RPSSCDM12A adapter, you would have at least
two or more RPSSSE24A expansion power units to
provide more PointBus current for modules to the right of
the supply.
• 24VDC to 5VDC converter
• 1.3A, 5VDC output (extend backplane power)
• Starts new voltage distribution
